Picking the Perfect Name
for Your Baby
By Steve Edwards
One of the most important
decisions you will make once you find you are pregnant is that of picking
the perfect baby name. Everyone has their own idea of what a great name is,
sometimes it is as simple as whatever is currently fashionable as per the
top 10 names for the country in the year that the baby is born, sometimes
it's a family name that honors a favorite relative, and sometimes it's just
a name that the mother (or father) really likes.
The baby name chosen will
occasionally carry certain cultural significance. This happens often in the
case of popular baby names as they are fashionable for a certain period of
time and then the trend changes and so you can put babies with those names
into a certain decade. Television, and to a lesser extent movies, can
influence these trends as certain television shows have characters with
names which are "different" and which parents like so this is added to the
list of potential baby names. There are exceptions to this however, as there
are some baby names which are timeless and have been handed down generation
to generation throughout the family.
Whether or not to choose the
baby name before the baby is born is a matter for personal preference. There
are parents who decide what their baby's name will be from the moment they
have the pregnancy confirmed - and in some cases, they know what baby names
they will choose before they are even pregnant! Then there are other parents
who wait until the baby is born before naming it. Sometimes this is because
they can't agree on a name, or because they haven't found one they like, or
sometimes just because they want to wait to see |

how the baby
looks before naming it.
Once the baby is
born, there's still time to pick the perfect baby name for your baby. Even
if the name was decided months before the birth, it's possible that having
seen the baby, the name will change. When you see your baby for the first
time, and hold it in your arms, you may decide that the name chosen doesn't
seem to fit with the baby you are looking at. Maybe the baby has more
delicate features than the robust name chosen suggests, or vice versa. It's
also possible that there was someone instrumental in bringing the baby into
the world that you want to honor by naming your baby after them - and this
won't be known until after the birth occurs.
Take time to
choose the perfect name for your baby, and don't be afraid to change your
mind at the last minute if you feel it's not quite appropriate, after all
the baby is going to wear that name a long time!
